The ground work is outstanding... maybe a little SBS on creating the trees, very realistic.

Hi Colin have a look at this youtube video.

A few pointers.
You can use PVA instead of matt medium.
I use a mixture of http://woodlandscenics.woodlandscenics.com/ foliage.any mix that suits you is ok.
Hope this helps.

Hey Ralph
It's good to see you using nd promoting techiques from other hobby disciplines.
I've been going to medell railway fairs for years and the products available are terrific.
I recently obtained a set of 12 pots of weathering poders for a tenner and a whole
forest in abox of sea foam for £15.00.
Great idea to link to the video mate.

There's an awful lot of sigbs and signage that can be used in our scales too.
I have loads of British 'enamel' signs and posters I can use.
Some are so small I've used them as postcards for soldiers from the Crimean period onwards.
The only barrier between hobbies is imagination in my view.
I have a wonderful modesty screen and fireplace from the doll's house world just waiting for the right figure
Have a great day

My dad used to make a lot of doll's house furniture.
He also made me some windows once for a dio I was doing(hand fretsaw).he's also made me a lot of base's.
he's slowed down a bit now,but here's something he did for a neighbour that he has just finished.

Wonderful Ralph,
I have to say I thought North Walians only carved spoons that
were useless except for wall hanging, that'll teach me
